![“We will pay for this [climate change] one way or another. We will pay to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions today and we'll have to take an enormous hit of some kind. Or we will pay the price later in military terms. And that will involve human lives. There will be a human toll. There is no way out…” quote by Anthony Zinni](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/df5/anthony-zinni-42564_change_we-will-pay-for-this-climate-change-one_424301.jpg)
